In answer to a question over on the Forum I put together this list of all the actual release dates since the Rapid Release model was instituted.

It's noteworthy that RS has never missed an update date and they have often provided updates MUCH more frequently when it was needed. Everyone with a subscription has been getting their money's worth, at least in terms of number of updates.

Rapid release plan announced   5/20/2005
2005r1  6/14/2005
2005r2  8/2/2005
2005r3  9/13/2005
2005r4  10/12/2005

2006r1  1/11/2006
2006r2  4/13/2006
2006r3  7/6/2006
2006r4  10/4/2006

Disregarding 2005, that probably had as many bugs as 5.0 as they were both major changes in the Framework, the 2006 changes have had more new features and bug fixes than any version I owned prior to 5.0. The cost has gone up a bit but so has everything else so it still remains relative.

The nice thing about the new release format is that Cocoa was promised to be included by the end of this year. Even if it happens in 90 days from r4's release it still would be acceptable to me. :)
